[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It has existed since modern public school boundaries began, OP, in every country. My husband begged his war refugee parents to move out of their low-income, crime-ridden neighborhood so that he could change middle school and stop getting bullied every day. He threatened to stop attending school. They couldn't afford to move, so they fudged their address to make him attend a better and safer school. He ended up with an MD/PhD.[/quote] If you read " A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" which takes places in the early 20th Century, the lead character fudges her way into a better/higher SES school. This is not a new phenomena. [/quote] +1. And Andrea Zuckerman used her Grandma's address so she could go to West Beverly High instead of her shitty high school. This was back in the early 90's.[/quote]
